Posted April 20, 201213 yr http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Money/Pix/pictures/2009/7/10/1247232583212/Bury-St-Edmunds-town-cent-001.jpg Come ONE come ALL. It's REJECTS WEEK in Bury St. Edmunds and we have EIGHT to choose from to send through to the final of our fictional re-run of an obscure foreign selection competition for a song contest treated as an annual one-off bit of whimsy by the public at large. I suppose this puts paid to any claims that I am the 99% from now on. NONETHELESS, we have EIGHT losers to turn into two potential winners, although really it's turning seven into one as we ALL KNOW Danny's going to end up bloody winning this round. http://svt.se/svts/article3321.svt/ALTERNATES/large/Mattias%20Andreasson1.jpg 01 Mattias Andréasson - 'Förlåt mig' Text och Musik - Mattias Andréasson Let's all hear it for GAYFACE MATT. What a good sport coming to some old shit-hole in the middle of East Anglia to try and make it to the final. Anyway, IRL Sweden was AGOG that one third of everyone's favourite suspiciously heterosexual Swedish boyband EMD went out to a baked lobster scrotum feat. Velvet, though given he's got a bit of public sympathy out of it all it can't have done him too much harm (compare + contrast the rapid draining of any goodwill Sweden had left for Andreas Johnson). Anyway, Buzzjack loved him enough to rank him top four in the heat, but do they care enough to send him into the final to be bottom half fodder? http://svt.se/svts/article3326.svt/ALTERNATES/large/Mimi%20Oh1.jpg 02 Mimi Oh - 'Det går för långsamt' Text och Musik - Niclas Lundin and Anton Malmberg Hård af Segerstad I wonder if we'll see her again soon? I'd like her to become the new Jenny Silver (and for Jenny Silver to become the new Loreen). Anyway, this jaunty 80s gem went out last in the real thing but we all saw fit to give her a second chance. But does Mimi have even the SLIGHTEST hope of getting higher than 9th should she make it to the final? http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/6756/abalonedots.jpg 03 Abalone Dots - 'På väg' Text och Musik - Abalone Dots (Rebecka Hjukström, Sophia Hogman, Louise Holmer), Viktor Källgren Basically here by default from a very cock-heavy first heat, I think it's fair to say these girls are NO HOPERS in the grand scheme of things. http://svt.se/svts/article3163.svt/ALTERNATES/large/Love%20Generation.jpg 04 Love Generation - 'Just A Little Bit' Text och Musik - RedOne, John Mamann, Jean-Claude Sindres, Teddy Sky, Yohanna Simon and Bilal 'The Chef' Hajji These ones however are NOT *.* Everyone's fave desperation merchants Love Generation limped into 2012 minus two of the members they started with and pinning all their hopes on a Melodifestivalen revival. Of course, turning up with a Nicole Scherzinger B-side probably didn't help matters and they crashed out at the first hurdle, not even making it to the top five. For all I know (and care) they probably split up weeks ago but would Buzzjack like to give them a second chance to live out their dreams and make it to the final? http://svt.se/svts/article3156.svt/ALTERNATES/large/Sonja%20Alden2.jpg 05 Sonja Aldén - 'I din himmel' Text och Musik - Sonja Aldén, Bobby Ljunggren and Peter Boström :( Oh SONJA. True artistés are unappreciated in their lifetime and it's fair to say this is the case with I din himmel, a ridiculous enormo-ballad which put Tirren-certified max artisté of 2011 Shirley Clamp to shame, being essentially a remake of Med hjärtat fyllt av ljus (except this time with a TUNE and actual VOX), right down to the ill-advised decision to get the thighs out at the end. Sweden for some reason seems to FEAR a gammon leg (just ask old Shirl, and Linda Pritchard while we're at it) and shied away from the phones for Sonja, but will Buzzjack see fit to reward this beautiful beautiful ballad, if only for me? :( http://svt.se/svts/article15582.svt/ALTERNATES/medium/05_hanna_20120224_DSC6952.jpg 06 Hanna Lindblad - Goosebumps Text och Musik: Hanna Lindblad, Linda Sundblad och Tony Nilsson Veronicas B-sides fans, roll up, roll up! It's fair to say old TONE wasn't working on his top game when he wrote this (and neither was Linda for that matter), but it's pleasant enough in its own way. I wonder if we'll ever see Hanna again with two Melodiflops to her name? http://svt.se/svts/article15587.svt/ALTERNATES/medium/08_danny_20120224_DSC7164.jpg 07 Danny Saucedo - Amazing Text och Musik: Danny Saucedo, Peter Boström och Figge Boström Yeah, it's fair to say he doesn't even really need to turn up for this to make it to the final. An unfortunate case of losing out to the draw - but don't be surprised if he ends up top three in the final! http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4374/afroditel.jpg 08 Afro-Dite - 'The Boy Can Dance' Text och Musik - Figge Boström, Catrine Loqvist, Johan Lindman Oh these ropey dames *.* Disco-revival never sounded so good. Or aged. Anyway, will Buzzjack find room in the final for these brilliant, brilliant icons? -x- 1. Mattias Andréasson 2. Mimi Oh 3. Abalone Dots 4. Love Generation 5. Sonja Aldén 6. Hanna Lindblad 7. Danny Saucedo 8. Afro-Dite You have until Friday 27 April 9pm to vote by PM to me. Voting is 12/10/08/06/04/02. You should all have the tracks, but if not consult previous Buzzfestivalen threads for guidance from Brister Chjörkman. The final's just around the corner!

April 20, 201213 yr *Voted* I fully except to end up very disappointed with the results here, but I'm happy a lot of my favourites at least made it here (rather than failing miserably in the real thing).
April 20, 201213 yr Shame? I think not, that overrated pile of tosh doesn't even deserve to be HERE let alone the final. That's before you even factor in the woeful performance.
April 20, 201213 yr Shame? I think not, that overrated pile of tosh doesn't even deserve to be HERE let alone the final. That's before you even factor in the woeful performance. shame because I love 'Amazing' (sorry :P ), but there are so many better songs here.
April 20, 201213 yr Only one really good song in here to be perfectly honest, (and maybe 3 rather good ones). That's it. Slim pickings. :(
April 20, 201213 yr 'I din himmel' and 'Förlåt mig' still reside on my regular rotation playlist now, which is more than can be said for most of the other MF entries this year, so if they aren't the victors I'm going to have to shank someone. THAT'S ALL~
April 29, 201213 yr I know it's probably IN THE PIPELINE, but when are we getting the results for this?
April 30, 201213 yr I hope we have the results soon. I've almost forgotten about this... Go LG, A-D and Mimi :cheer:
